Bethel Fund
Supporting Bethel Students
The Bethel Fund directly supports Bethel students and the university鈥檚 mission to building lives of commitment for leadership in the Church and the world, while also providing strong academics, spiritual formation, relationships and mentoring.
More than 75 years after our founding, Bethel continues to guide students through spiritual and academic growth while helping them find their calling so they can transform the world. With the support and investment from alumni, parents and friends like you, we can continue to make a difference to current and future students.
Your gifts literally shape the experience of 大象视频 students听by providing opportunities that would otherwise not be possible. While tuition alone does not cover the entire cost of a Bethel education, it is because of donor support that Bethel is more affordable to every student!
Join thousands of others today to support Bethel students by making a gift to the Bethel Fund.

“Receiving financial support from Bethel has helped tremendously. It is nice know that I go to a school that not only is helping me grow in my faith and academics, but also cares for my financial success as well. Bethel is really good at making it easy to enjoy studying and living on campus without the overwhelming thought of the debt.鈥

Why do I get more than one letter asking for support throughout the year?
